WHAT IS WALRUS FROM SPACE?
  • Walrus are facing the reality of the climate crisis and we need to know more about how they are affected.
     
  • WWF and British Antarctic Survey (BAS) are asking the public to become ‘walrus detectives’ and help contribute to conservation science by spending as little as thirty minutes searching for walrus in thousands of satellite images taken from space.
     
  • The project aims to carry out a census of Atlantic and Laptev walrus populations over five years, which will help scientists to spot changes over time.
